I know what happens when I try to make my hair curly, and yet I slept in pin curls last night. As of quarter to 12, I’m out of the stupid-looking poofy stage and into “slightly wavy”. By the time I get home I’ll be right back to my normal, straight-as-a-string hair.

I was inspired by a pic of gender-swapped Bilbo cosplay and I thought it’d be cool if I could get the hobbit curly hair that they all seem to have. But no, I cannot.

One of my ~10 pen pals needs to damn well write to me so I can use some of my nifty new stationery. It can’t decide if it wants to be Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts, but since I like both artistic movements I’m quite pleased with it. Once I get ink for the home printer I can even print it out on proper A4 paper instead of letter-sized, but the only issue is slightly wide side margins and that’s easily fixed.

Assuming Clairefontaine Triumph will take inkjet ink, which I suppose I should check before I try it, but even if it won’t I can get A4 printer paper, right?

In the meantime, I have a pallet garden up and planted, though I did manage to scrape some skin off with bad staple gun ergonomics. There are strawberry plants, some beans that I desperately hope are bush, not pole, and the bottom layer is sweet alyssum because there are both dogs and free-roaming cats in my neighborhood.
